Monkey King: Hero Is Back might not be something you’ve heard of before, it was certainly new to me, but I could immediately tell that it was an adaptation of the Chinese classic Journey to the West. This really is a legendary tale that has persevered through generations, and anything that brings this tale to a wider audience is only a good thing. Though I’m not sure I’m writing for the audience this is aimed at. > Monkey King: Hero Is Back is actually an adaptation of the smash-hit movie. If you haven’t heard of that either, it’s because it was a smash hit in China back in 2015, not necessarily the rest of the world. But that hasn’t stopped Sony from producing a video game tie-in for the Chinese market, and with THQ Nordic’s help, the game is finally being published in North America and Europe, too.
